Tips & Notes
- Brew the Earl Grey about twice as strong as you would for a hot cup. After a full cup of lemon juice and melting ice, a regular-strength brew tastes thin.
- Let the brewed tea cool on the counter before it goes into the refrigerator. Strong black tea chilled very fast can turn cloudy; it tastes the same but dulls the look of the lemonade.
- Make the simple syrup ahead so it is cold when it meets the chilled tea. Add it a little at a time and taste, because lemons vary a lot in sourness from batch to batch.
